Any Lucasfilm aficionado will love it.

I actually like this game, even more than expected. The plot is simple and quite on the comedy side. It goes like a parody of 80's TV series (à-la Magnum P.I. for example). There are many silly situations, but those series didn't take themselves too seriously in the first place, so you kind of adjust to it. But from time to time they drop a joke that's plain nonsensical and you find yourself laughing at it. I mean, the same joke in a game like Day of the Tentacle wouldn't have the same effect, because the whole game is full of demential humour, but in this game it catches you off guard. The puzzles are quite easy, some of them you just have to talk yourself through. I think I've finished it in one week end, but hey! I got it for free, so I totally enjoy it.

High production value, decent gameplay

This game shows very well with vibrant artwork and strong voice acting. The environments are richly detailed, and it definitely has that 40s action movie flair. Your main hub location is a panoramic view of the main island, which is a nice touch. There is some toilet humor that usually wraps up in the protagonist being too innocent to get the joke, though he's simultaneously shown to be a bit of a ladies man. Another running gag is incorrect stereotypes, such as gorillas or pygmies being in the wrong locale. This is famously taken to an extreme, when you make a gorilla disappear by convincing him he cannot exist in the Amazon. Though not always that bad, there is obscure logic throughout the game. This causes a lot of backtracking to head scratch over puzzles. Plus, you have to page through your inventory and items just persist forever, meaning you will spend a lot of time thumbing through your inventory and experimenting with random items that may be completely useless. I still enjoyed most of my time with this game, and for a free game you cannot deny the value. Worth a try if you're into LucasArts-styled adventure games.

Great game!

The game has few frustrating moments, but the overall humor and the story is so great, that you can easily forget about the problems.

Challenge Without the Chagrin

After having taken a swing at the Syberia series from Benoit Sokal and feeling dismay at adventure point and click titles, I went into John Passfield's Flight of the Amazon Queen with hesitation, but optimism. My goal anytime I play a game made prior to 2000 is that I should be able to complete my undertaking without the assistance of a cheat guide (I'm looking at you Sokal). I'm happy to say: mission accomplished, Passfield. Princess saved, confidence in puzzle solving skills restored and game cheat databases left behind. Kudos on not having to deal with multiple character deaths as well. Joe King didn't once have to fall into a bone crushing hole or any other life ending scenario. Most of the puzzles also made sense, which is no small feat for game designers to accomplish when integrating such an array of items to collect and integrate into the adventure. NPCs also were helpful, with the exception of the tall glass of tribal brew that refused to speak to me despite my formidable mastery of the Pygmy to English translation book. If you play this game, and find yourself stuck, chances are Bob the Trader will have words of wisdom to help you continue your journey. As with life, the game isn't perfect. There were times in the journey where I found there being one or three more unnecessary elements placed in the way to throw me off. Or, maybe these were bonus puzzles that I just never figured out. When it comes to mouse-clicks hitting the pixels, however, Flight of the Amazon Queen kept me captivated, interested and cozy in a nostalgic coma for longer than I'd have expected.
